I have found thee sources of CakePHP conventions:

The Bakery: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/cake-conventions

The Manual: http://manual.cakephp.org/appendix/conventions

The Cake Sheet: http://cakephp.org/files/cakesheet.pdf

All three are very useful resources but each seems incomplete in one
way or another.

I suspect the manual is the official list and find that it is missing
information about database field naming conventions.

Specifically:

1.)  The convetion that fields named Created and Modified are updated
correctly.

2.)  The convention that fields named "title" or "name" are used as
descriptions for foreign keys in add and edit action views.

Who should be contacted with suggestions for the Manual?

I suggest adding two sections, "Database Table Naming" and "Database
Field Naming".  The conventions for naming database tables could be
moved from the model section and the conventions listed above could be
added to the field naming section.
